i was just thinking about when hybrid theory got released in 2000 the album still seems so modern until now cause of how many teens like my self really cherish the album, i think like the 5th album they want to make it as if it is modern in the next decade. maybe that's what they mean when it is a good mix of the old and new. you know what... i hate my speculative mind so at the end of the day it will all come down on what we hear on the album.
I fully trust the band to make something awesome. I have no expectations about how I want the next album to sound like. I want it to be what the band thinks it should be. Hybrid Theory is a timeless record. It ages very well.
"So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean." "I am not the fortune and the fame, or the same person telling you to forfeit the game." "In the memory you'll find me, eyes burning up, the darkness holding me tightly, until the sun rises up." "God save us everyone, will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns."
My Favorites Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back And never moving forward so there'd never be a past And in the end we were made to be apart Like seperate chambers of the human heart Sitting in an empty room, trying to forget the past This was never meant to last I wish it wasn't so
"If I could change, I would take back the pain, I would Retrace every wrong move that I made, I would. If I could stand up and take the blame, I would. If I could take all the shame to the grave, I would." - Shinoda, Easier To Run "All I want to do is trade this life for something new, holding on to what I haven't got" - Bennington, Waiting For The End "We say 'yeah'. With fists flying up in the air, like we're holding onto something that's invisible there. 'Cause we're living at the mercy of the pain and the fear. Until we dead it, forget it; let it all dissapear." - Shinoda, Waiting For The End "But all the vacancy the words revealed is the only real thing that i've got left to feel. Just stuk, hollow and alone and the fault is my own. I wanna let go of the pain I've held so long" - Shinoda & Bennington, Somewhere I belong "I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress, head full of anger, held in my chest. And everything left is a waste of time." - Shinoda, Nobody's Listening "But everybody has a face that they hold inside, a face that awakes when I close my eyes a face watches everytime they lie. A face that laughs everytime they fall" - Shinoda, Papercut "Forfeit the game, before somebody else takes you outta the frame and puts your name to shame, cover up your face, the pace is too fast. You just won't last" - Shinoda, Points Of Authority "Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually break down. The sacrifice of hiding in a lie, everything has to end You'll soon find we're out of time left to watch it all unwind. The sacrifice is never knowing, Why i never walked away, Why i placed myself this way, now I see, your testing me pushes me away" - Shinoda & Bennington, Pushing Me Away The whole song "Not Alone" because when I watched the video + song I cried for like half an hour becuz of what happened near my birthday... And the whole lyrics of "Dedicated", "Faint (DEMO)" and "No Roads Left" actually, those were just. Blowing my mind. That's that.
"It's ironic, at times like this you pray But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday." "I'm swimming in the smoke Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve What I don't deserve."
"This is how we fall apart but this is how beginnings start, 'cause when our heads betray our hearts, we fake what we don't know." "No matter what you think you did wrong, she knew she had to go all along." "And I'm running it like that - The front of the attack is exactly where I'm at."
''Remember all the sadness and frustration and let it go'' (Iridescent) ''I'll paint it on the walls, cause I'm the one that falls, I'll never fight again, and this is how it ends'' (Breaking The Habit) ''I've put my trust in you, pushed as far as I can go.. for all this, there's only one thing you should know'' (In The End) ''What do I have but negativity, cause' I can't justify the way everyone is looking at me'' (Somwhere I Belong) ''Sometimes I think of letting go, and never looking back.. and never moving forward so there'd never be a past'' (Easier To Run) ''Sometimes I feel like a prophet Misunderstood Under the gun like a new disease'' (High Voltage)
"The Hardest part of ending is starting again" (WFTE) "He was fragile And frozen, When the bullet took away his friend And now he's somehow More broken" (ATL) Leave Out all the Rest Chorus "I'm guessing that you probably know When your inside's hollow and you want to be cold Like a pill I couldn't swallow and it swallow me whole Another lie hard to follow, it followed you home" (QWERTY) whole Breaking the Habit Chorus "Because this is dedicated to the kids Dedicated to wherever music lives Dedicated to those tired of the same ol' same And dedicated to the people advancin' the game What's real is the kids who know that something's wrong What's real is the kids who think they don't belong What's real is the kids who have nowhere to run Who are hiding in the shadows waiting for the sun" (Dedicated) "I've seen a lot of shit, I've talked to a bum Out on sunset strip, he asked me 'How would you feel If everybody acted like you didn't exist You'd lose your grip, probably eventually flip.'" (Dedicated) wanted to refrain from posting it because it makes me sound like my lif is messed up or something (when its not) but: "I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real I wanna let go of the pain I’ve felt so long (Erase all the pain till it’s gone) I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m close to something real I wanna find something I’ve wanted all along Somewhere I belong" (Somewhere I Belong) "I drop to the floor like I did before Stop watching / I'm coughing / I can't be more What I want and what I need are at constant war Like a well full of poison / a rotten core The blood goes thin / the fever stings And I shake from the hell that the habits bring Let the sick ones down / the bells will ring Put pennies on the eyes / let the dead men sing" (Blackbirds) "Floating down / as colors fill the light We look up from the ground / in fields of paperwhite And floating up / you pass us in the night A future gazing out / a past to overwrite So come down / far below We've been waiting to collect the things you know Come down / far below We've been waiting to collect what you've let go" (Mike's part on Blackout) Given Up Chorus and that's just some, I love most of linkin park lyrics. While some think their lyrics aren't strong i think their lyrics are strong and i love thm
I have a lot but this line was in my head when I was reading this thread: I know I'll never trust a single thing you say, you knew your lies would divide us but you lied anyway. On the talk of Hybrid Theory, that album is like wine. It gets better and better with age
